How come shotguns were never used in star wars against ligthsaber wielders?
>>220106616*lightsaber
They're elegant weapons from a more civilized age.
>>220106616because star wars has always been gay and retarded since the very beginning
>>220106616In Knights of the Old Republic HK-47 (an assassin driod) explicitly states that gas grenades are the best way to attack a jedi.
>>220106654fpbp
Ballistics is not a thing in Star Wars.
>>220106941
>>220106941the sandniggers shoot anakins pod with a bullet
>>220106941The sand people are shooting physical bullets at the pod racers in Episode 1
>>220107062Dumb vietcong
Because the Jedi would swat all of the pellets out of the air>b-but from what we see in the movies-It's obviously stylized. You really think George Lucas thought to himself "yes, and blaster bolts should fly about as fast as a baseball" when designing the universe? Blaster shots are meant to be bullet speed and the Jedi are capable of swatting lots of bullet speed projectiles out of the air in quick succession
>>220107359In RoTS, numerous Jedi are seen being killed by blasters, this wouldn't be possible of the truly could deflect multiple shotgun pellets.
>>220107469They're killed by a bunch of dudes shooting them a ton all at once when they're not expecting it
>>220107638Jedi were also killed in combat during the attack on the jedi temple, and in the battle of geonosys in AoTC.
>>220107691yeah by whole armies. This is like pointing to a dude getting mauled by 500 piranhas and saying "clearly humans are weaker than small fish"A jedi could deflect projectiles shot by one or two dudes with shotguns
For me it's the TOZ-34
>>220106616God GuNpcs are so pathetic. Worse than dude weed lmaos
>>220106941>>220107175>>220107150https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Slugthrower
>>220106616I think my brother made this point once. Physical ballistics would also melt when touching a lightsaber, just as the metal of the blast doors melt in the opening scene of Phantom Dentist. Imagine you're a jedi, you try to deflect some buckshit and you get a faceful of molten slag.
>>220108648Yea that’d be crazy haha
You could stop the projectiles with the force?I guess that doesn't work on lasers for some reason (and episode 7 does not count)
>>220106616The mandalorians were btfo'ing the jedi and sith empire at the same time, when both were much larger, more organized and more powerful than most other points of history, and they used ballistic weapons some of which i assume were shotguns
>>220106761You fucking dork
>>220108586i cant believe this actually happened
Because starwars is stupid and gay.
>>220106616Doesn't gunpowder not exist in the Star Wars universe or something? Feel like I remember reading that somewhere
>>220106616armor that can deflect bullets but not blaster bolts is common enough in this universe that conventional firearms are rare. they exist (they're called slugthrowers) but they don't see much use. the other thing is that ammo for slugthrowers is expensive compared to blasters. also blasters can easily store hundreds of shots before needing to reload. there's not much reason to keep around slugthrowers just on the offchance you need to fight a jedi.
>>220107638A shotgun is shooting a ton all at once when they're not expecting it
>>220106761>Throw grenade>Force push gas awayThere is no normie vs jedi it's pure shitty nonsense born of EUslopJedi>>>>everyone else That is how George envisioned it.
>>220113472Only if they aren't expecting it. The blocking bullets thing they do when they want. They can and will just rip the gun out of your hand. They do it all the time.Vader wore heavy enough armor to just stop Han's shot with his open hand and then took his gun away.Normies need element of surprise+numbers. Even then the Jedi can just brain rape them or choke them if they can't take the gun away.
>>220110713hello starwars
>>220109271They can just rip the gun out of their hand or force pull their foot up and over their head or rip their dick off with their mind or choke the shit out of them or break every bone in their arm. They don't even need the saber to block another saber in the EU, jedi would do that in trailers and other stuff so even in the old EU jedi don't even need their swords at all to kick normie ass.Remember Mace literally disassembled a robot by the screws all at once.
>>220108586Why did dinsey make this one cool and boba a fat goofy faggot?
>>220113704Because Temuera Morrison is 75 years old and they made the decision to have him play a 35 year old Boba Fett.
>>220113683Why do they never do this in the movies?
>>220109174Bro has an arm coming out his back.
>>220106616
>>220106941There's a Mace Windu novel I read as a kid, and the bad guys use "dead blades" (metal) and ballistics. Lightsabers deflect them fine, but anticipating them is a whole nother animal to blasters and he gets shot if I recall.
>>220113903Yes, a jedi would just not even use a lightsaber against that. He would just stop the shots.
>>220106616They were in the jedi knight games.The flechette gun.
>>220106761>a droid said it so it must be trueSTUPID ASS
>>220113525>Jedi>>>>everyone elseThen how come so many Jedi died to clones?
>>220113611That wasn't armor. That was asbord/redirect energy. He absorbed the energy from the blaster and used it to fuel his gun yank force power.
>>220106616They have to fire visible plasma bolts so the Jedi know when and where to deflect them. Ironically, in a universe where it's easy to make laser shit you never had a need for gunpowder and lead. If there was any, they've probably written it off under their version of the Geneva Convention since lightsaber and blasters cauterize their wounds making death unlikely.
>>220114531Because they were backstabbed by soldiers they thought were allies.
>>220114531Clones out numbered them massively and had a unique kind of deception going on. None of them planned to attack the Jedi at any point until a few seconds before it started. So it's not like any of the Jedi who were busy fighting already had to the ability to precog that shit.
>>220114600>>220114602They had several seconds of warning. That's enough for Jedi to at least turn and block fire.Stop defending Lucas' shitty storytelling.
>>220114634The Jedi aren't invincible, retard. They can BTFO a single trooper, but they're not going to beat 50 of them all backstabbing at the same time.
>>220114698Did we watch the same movie?Half the random Jedi they showed on screen dying to troopers only had like 3-4 guys with them.If Jedi truly > all they should have been ok.
>>220106616Because laser weapons are better in almost every way + Jedi can stop the bullets with a force shield. You’d only defeat them with overwhelming firepower.
>>220106616The Jedi wear armor that can stop bullets iirc
>>220106616Some ppl dont even realize that Star Wars blaster bolts travel pretty slow. It isn't ballistic speed. Allows us to appreciate them but it also has bearing on things.
>>220114851The Jedi wear desert robes that can't stop shit.>>220114839If the Jedi can make a force shield to deflect bullets why don't they ever do that to block blaster shots?
>>220114870They do, Vader does it here >>220113611
>>220114926No that's absorb/redirect energy. Not some force shield.
>>220114870>The Jedi wear desert robes that can't stop shit.They are seen wearing armor in the movies, did you watch them?
>>220114948That's not armor. That's like light leather clothing.
>>2201085866 million jawas were killed this way?
>>220114961Nigger its battle armor, the same kind the clones use actually. It’s basically stronger Kevlar
>>220106616>How come shotguns were never used in star wars against ligthsaber wielders?They were.
even modern armor stops shotgun shots
>>220107150Why is the scope off to the side like that? Not very ergonomic.
>>220111657Real-world gunpowder doesn’t seem to exist but there are lots of equivalents.>>220114531Because how strong Jedi and the Force are is determined by the plot.>>220115123Maybe it helps with leading the pod racers since they’re going so fast. Or it’s Star Wars and asymmetric stuff like the Millennium Falcon is cool and used-futurey. I dunno.
>>220106941nigga you can throw a handful of rocks. A HANDFUL OF ROCKS
>>220115185>Because how strong Jedi and the Force are is determined by the plot.That's called inconsistent (shitty) writing.
isn't the canon reason that blaster bolts are way cheaper and more compact than bullets?
>>220115376It’s alright for a single trilogy where Jedi and the Force are mysterious and unexplained but gets worse the more you show and explain it, just like 99% of fantasy magic systems.
>>220115525Yes I agree the prequel trilogy ruined Star Wars.
>>220115535>Midichlorians, son
>>220114737To be fair I haven't watched the movie in about 20 years, all I remember was about 50 clone troopers shooting the fuck out of one of them.
>>220115560Midichlorians was the dumbest thing George ever did.It went from a mystic art, to power levels.
>>220115598In my personal headcanon, the prequel trilogy is 3PO telling a story to someone. That's why everything is so retarded and the story doesn't make sense. Because 3PO is a bad storyteller.
>>220115600ExactlyFrom 60s counterculture mysticism to a fucking numbers game.
>>220106616How about flamethrowers?
>>220113611according to EU lore he had bullet-prof gloves.
why no darksaber?
>>220106616it's a kid's show
>>220117059No that's Disney lore.EU lore is he absorbed the energy of the blaster.
>>220108586imagine one of those jawas being warwick davis
>>220106616Pretty sure in Old Republic shit, they mention essentially this, a "kinetic" weapon with several projectiles, is the most efficient firearm against Jedi
>>220115600Imagine being so stupid you got filtered by this
>>220119702>no its actually good!lmao
A GREAT QUESTION...for another time
>>220106616Because they could stop the multiple projectiles with the force and not even have to use the light saber
>>220106761>>220113525HK-47 was trying to trick fleshbags into committing suicide by Jedi.
>>220115431not THE reason necessarily, but yeah, long term blaster ammo rarely needs replenishing. most adventurers don't even carry an extra mag. Makes you wonder how powerful those star destroyer cannons at the start of rots were if they used a barrel sized cell every shot
>>220113611>door opens>darth vader standing there>on the spot han solo draws and blasts himbased han always ready to throw down, nearly saved the galaxy then and there
>>220113611WTF Lando and Chewie, join in. Darth Vader only has two hands.
>>220120376Why didn't Jedi stop blaster bolts with the force, considering that blaster bolts weren't actually lasers, but they were plasma that had mass.
>>220108586That's a disruptor.
>>220115002video game style shotgun spread lmao
>>220120538blaster bolts are apparently heavier than bullets. Yes, I know Yoda said some "there is no try" shit but he was clearly struggling to lift heavier stuff compared to lighter stuff, so he's full of shit.
>>220113683Was that gif sped up for zoomers? Seems way too fast.
>>220106616In Star Wars vidya Force users can have some sort of Force shields, bubbles around them, they can use against lasers, probably bullets too. So you can just pretend they do so in films too.
>>220115123It's an homage to early scoped rifles which were offset to both allow easier reloads, and to allow you to use the iron sight if your target is close.
>>220113812Because nobody involved in the film industry is creative enough.
>>220107359This is the only correct answer. It would just look like any action movie where a guy blocks bullets with a katana
>>220118096I'm pretty sure that in EU Darth Vader had blaster proof cortosis gloves or something similar.Totally against Rule of Cool.
>>220106616Because 99% of the time you're fighting other dudes with blasters. You can't plan for the 1% when jedi show up.
>>220106616Even if you had a shotgun, it would need to have a videogame style spread to be effective in the way you're thinking. You would end up with a weapon that's better (still not great) against Jedi that are ~10-15ft away from you but sucks in almost every other instance.
